even arrows etc could be on left side https://i.imgur.com/lBtVTul.png
I prefer having an ultimate 60he rather than switching with 2 keyboards for different purposes
But maybe we are max 3 to think like that
Probably more but most functionality can be done with third party programs and those who "need" it on board are the rare ones
always want to sell us your 4U space 😂
if wooting do full, they should unironically do 'mirrored' similar to this. Just tkl area there instead and num area to the left - this way nothing gets in the way for mouse, especially while gaming.
that's 4.25. and jis-like they could have done has 4.5.
that's because you don't need long spacebar, it's a remnant of the past (esp because of extra benefits you get, esp Alts being centralized and more useful, esp playing some game).
Waow
I often find myself as the only serious person on this server

Hey Wooting fam! here are some closeups of the new Lekker Tikken Switches and packaging 🙂
mmm, Tikken
Wasabi gets to see packaging before the general overall people that work for the company

🤣
it's because of his camera, he's using a sony clearly
shafie would like to know what lens you used for these photos though

yesss but my legs are dying and I just got back to the hotel hahah!! Gotta fly home tomorrow 😄
get some good rest and safe travels for tomorrow 
i see how wasabi is - he's keeping his lens secrets away from shafie. Doesn't want to say
Did you get to try the knobs Wasabi?
work first 🤩
that looks like a g lens ends with 50mm, maybe thee 24-50mm?
oo sorry hahaa for this event I am using a..
I need that setup so compact but powerful 

yes that one!!! I get so confused with lens names my bad
also a wandrd provoke bag it seems
an excellent choice
wasabi gets the sony lens church seal of approval
i’m “field testing” it! it’s a bag i’ve been wanting to get for many years already! the design is so niceee
@spring stirrup it's important to keep accurate notes - since he's using a 24-50mm on 6700 that means it's a 1.5 apsc crop so he's using it like a 36-75mm lens, better write that down
oh yes for the knob I did get to try it. Rotation and press works just fine but it is still a prototype. The experience will be much improved and refined by Q1 2026
I want that Sony 70-350mm or 105-525mm full frame equivalent
The smaller one and bigger one can be pressed too? 😮
both can be pressed 🙂

Magic, how does it work?
Mmmm…. magic 😆
Another thing people can look forward to is when other brands get creative with the colours, designs and feel of hot swappable knobs that they produce which you guys can use on your Wooting keyboard. So this could become another way for people to personalise their keyboard even further.
Here are some views of the split spacebar
and this is the white colour way with the white wrist rest. I think looks so pretty
There will be two options when this be becomes available. Classic regular spacebar or the Split spacebar.
There was a gaming setup with CS2 on and i tried both the split and normal spacebar. For me using the one with the split, it did not feel any different or out of place. It’s like a seamless integration of a feature that allows for more flexibility with how you game.
naisu
cool stuff!
@midnight basalt Do you have silver case photos?
seems like it'll be a nice split spacebar for gamer afterall.
it sure is!!
Asus has a split spacebar keyboard too and I was a bit taken back when I saw it in person because they split the entire keyboard
Woot patented it, surely.. Literally revolutionizing hall effect rotary encoders with magic. 😮😮
can it do 360?
👀
ah! good question.. I remember doing 780 on it
OOOOO
Okay that settles it
I genuinely believe they have a wizard in their team.
This shit should not be possible. 😭
👀
It’s crazy
surely you can bind esc + other features
how high? top 5? 
I think the knob will be an advanced key honestly
Yeah
like an advanced key you have to set to use the knob
I wanna feel it now
simon?
Rouhan.
ah multiple wizards, got it
She has never led us astray
rouhan does have the high score on switchy to be fair
The other question is, is it responsive enough for rhythm game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA2skLc38tc With 60hev2 being split space, I can see it being nice for this kind of game + knob.

I think I’ve broken my head thinking about how it works
Give up, you are not him bro
🌹
i will definitely be testing it for k-shoot once i get my hands on it
I looked into the small knob more. The movement on the switch is soo low despite doing like 80-90 rotation. It has a tad increase on it. So it can def do 360. What I can at least theorize, when it reach at the top, the inside of the knob will change a little bit using rotational force. Considering the software already knows it reaches 4mm, it'll switch the direction thus giving you an infinite spin. Maybe there'll be a delay/deadzone but that's not too bad for rhythm game even if it's like 0.5mm.
One thing I'm curious to see is twist while pressing gently. The knob seems to remember where it is prior to being pressed. It makes me think there's a nubbin inside that's pressing on the switch but doesn't actually lock it in place.
This doesn't look like what you see on a HE switch. It might be on top of the switch, which kinda helps helps with the fact that there still need to be some resistance for the rotational force to be transferred to be able to move the magnet/stem.
That's all I can say rn.
It’d have to be noncontinuous to be even remotely possible. That it doesn’t have an orientation indicator made me forget that (seemed to imply continuous rotation). The magnet can probably move more than 4mm vertically in it. I presume when it reached when you almost reach the top or bottom, there will be a spring. When twisted beyond that, the boards sends the action continuously. That’s the only way volume up and down would be possible (as shown in the teaser image).
Yeah, this would probably be problematic. Woot can already differentiate stem wobble from regular pressing so perhaps they’ll apply something like it for the knob as well.
You know, it doesn't have to be just 4mm, it can be 6mm. As long as the sensor can sense it without much trouble.
Yeah.
They can limit how far it can rotate but leave the push to be beyond that
You can hold a magnet like 10cm above the board and you’ll be able to see it in Analog Monitor.
10cm is exaggerating, like 6cm with a pinky sized magnet.
I don’t think the knob goes on top of the switch by the way. Most likely it’ll be its own thing. So you take the switch out and install the knob. “Hot-swappable” would refer to that.
that way is fine too, with the way I'm thinking it's working, with or without switch it's prop going to work mostly the same.
man I really hate SOONᵀᴹ
A small handful of tech media got their hands on the knobs, can't wait to see their content
this early? god damn
This early, we've been working on the dang things for years now
The original plan was for them to release with the 80he, but we don't settle with "good enough"
Amazingly
hope there will be an explainer around release
i believe they will include a force known as rotation
maybe some counter rotation as well
interesting, i will have to look into this
yep, check with chatgpt to be sure
no chatgpt is not a reliable source
i will use uh
wikipedia and my uncle on facebook to check this info
If Wooting made a knob, it would almost certainly be designed with a strong focus on analog input precision, modularity, and seamless integration with existing Wooting products. Here’s how such a product would likely work, based on Wooting’s hardware and software philosophy:

I only get mine from rednote that's the truest source of information
Patented?

Strap an Nzxt CPU cooler to your keyboard, easy
Prob when you turn it it goes up and down slightly, depend on the height it prob detects where it is or what you could do with it

i need ice coffee
Beast X Pro or Beast X Mini Pro😔
(how to bribe mr akbar)
Ofc yall want some food
that choice is up to you
get me a matcha latte please
NO ONE WANTS THE TIKKEN???
not available rn
I already have them
MAN I TIME TRAVEL TO KNOB SO V2 AND SWITCH IS OUT
im pretty sure I can get to them easily 
can you get me
I don't have any chicken nuggies though, is that not an option?
This is compelling

Let me sleep on it
Mark is about to count switchies before sleepy time
The moment I close my eyes, it'll be 7am
no he'll be counting chicken nuggies 
Which sounds like a good idea

When can I buy some tikken switches!?
around 60v2 official release
No it is not

Then why it is in just chatting category
Ok buzzkill

Let a homie dream
same
what website/app is this
Eloshape
thanks
yes
theres no point
why do you say that
the PCB is already capable of sub 0.1mm AP but no switch can consistently hit much lower than that
0.1mm is about the lowest consistent actuation you can reach
ahh i see, there has been some pretty decent implementations of it though no ?
theres also diminishing returns past 0.1mm, you either wouldnt notice it or it would be unusable levels of sensitive
no
do you think something like .05mm would be inconsistent ?
yes
pretty much every board claiming sub 0.1mm actuation has lied
they usually have way higher deadzones so it doesnt even matter
i've been testing the slice75HE since i got sent one for review, i honestly think their implementation of .005 is fairly consistent, it feels snappier to me
i play games like siege, so i quick peak and stuff a lot and i will say it feels a bit faster
the deadzone is almost certainly way higher than that
it has an adjustable dead zone as well
Snappier ≠ consistient in input all the time
what he's saying isn't that it can't adjust deadzone - he's saying 0.005 isn't really 0.005
it's like 0.005 except it'll turn off and work like something more usable a lot of the times because that's the only way for settings that low to actually be used
so your 0.005 is for show and really functions like say 0.05 or similar
yea i understand that, im saying that like in terms of sheer feel in a game it is a BIT FASTER
what do you guys think the ceiling is then ? in terms of like consistent and true input
0.05 maybe on super super stable switches, but even that's debatable
personally 0.1-0.3 is probably more smart to use for a competitive game where consistency matters
i see i see
like if you put a gun to my head and say 'strafe peek this corner 100 times perfectly' in valorant, there's zero chance i'm using 0.005 or some other absurdly low setting for example
it's why a lot of even gifted mechanical pros don't use settings that low - it's just not consistent for actual controlled usage
Unless you are robot
to an extent that makes sense, i kind of just saw it as one of those features where like
maybe add it and make a disclaimer that it's not really consistent
so if it's something people may WANT to use
they can
i personally probably wouldn't, when i was using the slice i found it a bit too fast
and i'd like overpeak sometimes
the switches the keyboard comes with likely wouldnt even be able to work well that low
it's pretty much just added because people don't take the time to think how absurd the amounts get for each decimal we drop lower
for example if we drop one more decimal lower past 0.005 then you're measuring the size of viruses under a microscope
ahhh i see
unless wooting poured some magic into the tikkens
yea like this seems... absurd
i will say i tried .05 on my slice with jade pros and it felt pretty good
.005 i can't really make an argument for
Whats your faceit elo?
i think 0.05 is usable in some scenarios depending on super stable switches
although i'm still unsure how truly consistent it would be over something like 0.1
would you consider the jade pros super stable
They are not
they're not bad, but not as good as some other box stems
i haven't gotten into faceit unfortunately, i don't think i would use something like that on cs tho at all
cs feels very like
sensitive.. if you get what i'm saying
like you get to full momentum when strafing REALLY fast
it's funny people are going lower yet tenz is going higher last I saw
it would honestly feel uncomfy to use on cs
no bro twust I know better than tenz 🙏
the only game that i've found having a really low ap to help is like siege
Because if you have high faceit elo you have high game knowledge and motorskills to know
like i said doing things like quick peaking just felt a bit better
i play more val than cs, i want to start playing faceit though
i'm currently immo3 on val if that means anything to you
Well if you are above 3500 elo consider your self very good
But only eu elo matters
he's immo3, which means very good if you want to transfer that rating to cs
So it would be like 2000 faceit elo
it's basically same as being in top percentile of faceit if you want to convert the rankings
iirc immo3 and up is basically top 0.15% or something like that of valorant
Is it?
yea it's around there i believe
i don't trust anything you say when you compare cs and valorant to be honest lol
yeah i don't think they're the same game since valorant has so much util stuff
nah valorant is a game about precise gun play
Basicly chess with guns
What valorant wanted to be
valorant is way harder in its own way, i don't really think the two games correlate at all
more so I mean jakubix is never giving an honest rating of anything valorant related because he hates valorant lol
too much util to play around for the games to be compared
like if you say you're professional in valorant he'll probably say "oh so barely faceit amatuer then"
Will there be other types of wooting 60 he V2 switches available for sale?
i'm not dismissing cs i feel like it's a very hard game i just think valorant is a lot harder to play.
the tikkens are the only ones releasing currently i believe
there will be other switches in the store if that's what you mean - like how it is now. But tikkens will be the stock option
^
More like tier4 to tier5. If cs pro converted into valo like scream maybe rn he could play on tier3 maybe tier 2 max
whatever works for you jakubix
you could still buy geon raws, og lekkers, jades etc
on site but the default option will be the tikken
they're totally different games besides both being tactical shooters, i don't think anyone was comparing the skill of the two, moreso just where the rankings lined up
mmmmmm
i disagree
mainly because it's never really been done. when a lot of cs pros came to valorant and made like t1 it was because at the time valorant WAS actually gun play based
Valorant is hero shooter with some aspects of tactical shooter
you can't really make that argument anymore
yeah hence they're totally different games, you can't really judge how a pro in one game would do in another game because they're so different beyond just aim and mechanics
I was doing fine without abilities in valo 
I just hate their randomized recoil
there's a lot of aspects in val that can correlate to cs and vice versa, you can still learn positioning and gunplay in val
aim translates but at pro level the other aspects will wrecks you
i mean yea, without abilities, because the game had more correlation to cs at that time
like i don't expect a cs pro to jump into valorant and know what to do when he gets dumped with 50 util and has no where to move lol
i've seen people that have been like faceit lvl9 and could barley get out of diamond-ascendant on val
he could aim well and do well like that, but if it comes down to util usage and understanding it's going to be a different game that has to be learnt
same with a valorant player going to cs where different strats and things have to be learnt
there's a lot of t1 pros with incredible aim that still underperform in val. theres just a lot more to the game
yay for instance
yay used to have some of the best valo aim probably ever
Also biggest issue of valorant not alot of tournaments
and now he can barely perform consistently
he was on a comeback in playoffs at least, so hopefully he can hold his form when they return next split
hopefully
Who you are talking about?
yay
The current claims are absurd, yes. However, the goal is not. Distance = time. Here’s a highly informative research paper on it backed up by heaps of evidence:
bro using chatgpt to do math 💀
I don’t exactly have the means to measure how fast a finger releases a key on average. (rent free also)
nah but using chatgpt to do math is 100% cooked
bro 😭
i mean how do you know chatgpt knows this accurately and isnt hallucinating it or using wrong info
Because it’s a highly informative research paper backed up by heaps of evidence, obviously.
The accuracy here doesn’t really matter. Some people are of opinion that because a human can’t feel the difference between 0.1 and 0.01 that it therefore has no effect, which isn’t true..
So the numbers ChatGPT stated are off, for sure. It does explain the goal behind min-maxing a bit more though.
what is the difference with the 60HE+ and v2?
Nice, it sounds way better
Yeah, much better stock experience 👍
Excited for the first computex content creator videos to appear
They already exist
Of our booth? Should we be prepared to get analyzed

Yes but it is in turkish
Ngl such a downgrade
Last year booth was bigger
Other than nice display of every part in 60he v2 and knob there is nothing interesting

I hope so i'am not memed on company slack
Don't worry we meme on you to your face not behind your back 
Ok raw meat man
Atleast raclette tries to be funny

Damn, got cooked

Atleast you are cooked now, but meat man you still you have time to learn
Oh fuck forgot to turn of ping

Why does CZ do this to me, they drop a Ported P10C without telling anybody
Now I gotta pay like $300 for some professional to cut it for me
Maybe like $150 and upward to $300 but still
What is the name of this key switch?
iirc correctly its early test samples of the tikken switch
thats the 60v2 video correct?
Is the 60HE v2 cable black and yellow C to C with a C to A low profile adapter?
similar to 80HE
When can I order the 60V2?
Sometime closer to the Q4 release date.
nope
just order when available!
similar to other wooting products it's not drops
it's batches
so you can order whenever without any fomo which I love
though we dont have any details on the matter yet so

Tikken is not a Lekker "V3", but a new and fresh take on our switches.
Not Lekker v3 but Lekker :3

When did Mansen become so Mansen
Years and years of intense shitposting and training in the mystic arts of moderation.
I didnt know jeoren got hair upgrade
Finalmeme would be appalled
This has probably been asked already, but do you figure the v2 will be compatible with the alumaze case? hope to be able to only get the module of the v2
Yeah it will be
what does tikken mean
why tikken and not lekker v3
It's a whole new switch design from the Lekker V1 and V2. Not just an iteration update
naisu
I looked up tikken in dutch and the word seems to mean a ticking sound or so
just happy to see 4mm switch that's as good/better than ti hee
odd to pick an undesirable sound characteristic to rep the switch
frfr
Tikken is more of a verb which commonly results in a ticking sound so it kind of means both. Lekker Tikken means something like Nicely Tapping, rather than Nice Ticks.

this lowkey might be fire for the bunny hoppers that wanna use their mouse scroll wheel for other things
is the wooting 60he v2 gonna have a white version?
Black, White, Silver.
so i can choose for it to come fully white pre assembled ?
No clue.
It's just a case of putting it into the case, if it's only sold as a separate case.
if its pre assembled then wooting can just take my money already
After all the module isn't screwed in. It's just pushed into the case and held by friction. You just pull it up with the tool to get it up.
and then push it back down on the separate case?
if so then that sounds easy and I will just do that
That's exactly how you do it.

awesome
I know that the cost of the v2 is not official in any way yet but do you know if the white version would cost more than the black?

No comment
cant believe yall ruined his excitement like that /s
End of this year
Lekker Tikken will be compatible with Lekker Spring Pack ?
yes king
if we didn't care about keycap compatibility and stuff like that, this here would be best 60% kb for gaming and overall. Notice more centralized and convenient (for thumbs) Alt placements.
More accessible and nice Backspace - which also opens up for a Knob space in top right corner.
Very nice Ctrl that is good for both WASD and ESDF/homerow.
I see this as someone DIY product rather than a mass market product.
but again, this is variant #2, you already have normal wooting, variant #2 is for innovation, in layout functionality and comfort.
because so far the cart has been put before the horse with the standard conventional not-very-gaming-and-overall-friendly layouts.
someone has to actually be the first to take these steps, we can't be stuck with this antiquated less comfortable layout forever. (ergo-ortho would be too big step, and it already exists - the goal is more to change standard layouts, those that will just forever have monopoly maybe if nothing is done).
even custom layouts rarely try to do this, and definitely not from big companies.
Yeh, you should make it even with just mech keeb as a proof of concept.
Wooting is prop too busy with the making sure 60hev2 can be produced well and the firmware stuff + knob and firmware stuff along with that.
place your hands on homerow right now, notice how annoying it is to bend thumbs to reach Alts (+think of shortcuts), and notice how annoying it is to reach LCtrl - and this is ofc much worse ESDF gaming.
imagine almost no one has done anything about it for many decades, in any serious way (excluding ergo-ortho)
Yeah, they are too busy, wont make this abomination
I dont do homerow typing
I just make my finger go everywhere it wants to go while typing since it gives the same sensation as playing rhythm game.
also allow my brain to focus more on making the sentences.
you don't need split and middle key and backspace as right space - with that more perfect layout you will reach Alt much better, use that as you would middle key, and Backspace is closer, so don't need that either as much.
you will have better caps lock binding for gaming, that is not annoyingly caps lock.
No, I'm speaking this with rhythm game in mind, current 60hev2 perfectly aligned with where my finger is when doing split.
Careful, when you reach the summit and realize there are no more hills to climb it can be depressing
The layout summit is just one of three. The other two, performance and features, demand even greater determination and are far more challenging to conquer. With layout behind them, they can shift their pursuit of perfection toward the summits that truly matter.

it's 2158, with humanity having been mostly wiped out in the great potato wars of 2094, small isolated pockets of humanity cling to life as best they can, barely managing to feed their colony, cultivating what little arable land remains. aligner and mb are still going on about layouts and spacebars
Two big knobs in row😦

RIGBY
HE IS STILL AT IT? 
Mate, gimme some of your stuff 
Like... I though 4u spacebar is bad, sure
What the hell is that Ctrl though 
He isn't constrained by the limit of manufacturing
It's not even that...
Like... imagine getting keycaps for that
Or expecting that anyone would actually take time to learn new layout
I mean, could be fine if there's like 300 different layout
Apple makes a new one every mac, gaming company makes a new one for every release, and every Chinese company just make their own to suit Chinese and manu a different one for every language that can be conceived by the keyboard.
the worst part is that the actual answer to what mb is trying to solve with this layout already exists: you don't want a standard formfactor or even necessarily standard keys? you want to place keys at the most optimal and ergonomic position?
that's called an ergo keyboard
go build a dactyl manuform and be hapi
Then wooting will just make something erely close to ansi, still no 7u though.
Or like there's a special strip of sensor lane and it allows you to make any layout possible.
he’s already an ergo user, though this is he optimal gaming layout.
which requires analog features of course.
7u wouldn’t be controversial enough for woot, obviously. a layout that broke the “rules” they previously had was necessary. 🥰
just multi-layout support, that’s where HE shines man 😭
you are missing the biggest point. middle key to enter layers and add actions to space bar (or even more layers)
I swear I was going to say this was an RoG because of the Take CONTROL (you dont need such a big ass CTRL Key) . Nobody uses it 😛
CTRL Key is mapped to the most useless key a Keyboard has ...
CAPS
emulating HHKB
no you do need this big Ctrl, because if you test now even with WASD placement, you don't actually naturally reach Ctrl, also ofc very needed for ESDF layout in gaming (which is like a superior layout overall - just that it has received little support so far).
ESDF or WASD is just placebo. its only 1U ot the right. its still staggered
and CTRL is mapped to CAPS so no pinky contortionism 🙂
IMHO before folks try to edit-change keyboard layouts, try alternative stagegred layouts first
there is so much more to start with first.. like Colemak DH or Halmak
then try columnar (split or not) keyboards . but word of caution: there may be no turning back (hence the reason why I am hesitant) 😄
Long story short: it is useless for folks be discussing ergo and efficiency when they still use QWERTY ...
concave ergo is really where it's at though, like Glove80, just not suitable for gaming really.
but i'm trying to fix conventional layout though. because also conversion for people from standard to ergo is too steep often I guess, also in price.
Yeah, my biggest gripe is that there is no HE keyboard live Glove 80, Korne, Voyager or even Defy
if there was, I'd pull the trigger
Yes, folks should try different layouts first. They won't believe the difference that alone makes
tbh Glove80 isn't even that expensive overall, costs the same as OW60 lol
I'd never buy the OW60 . .there are limits 😄
if the Defy was HE, I would have bought 2, fully decked
then the OW60 is cheap in comparison LOL
reason why so few do concave I guess is just how hard it is overall to do. like first often hard to do mold itself, then like very hard or time consuming to do pcb parts, many separated parts etc. (and then it can't really be hotswappable, because this pcb is like not attached well enough for it or something).
Yeah, it will never be mainstream
and folks still report isses with those
and when a switch fails, uuhhh
nah, Glove80 is solid though. if switch fails? you can pretty easily solder a new etc, just need soldering kit.
no but why would a switch fail, that's not Glove80 at least.
for stuff like that though you don't need much skills. there is no technique to this really.
there is, trust me. an unskilleduser will rip the pads/traces easy with overheat
you need a desoldering gun
even for 'old' keyboards that I haven't millmaxed, if I'm not careful, I can kill a PCB (specially the Corsair PCBs)
and I'm skilled on nano soldering and have JBC workstations
its easy to kill a keyboard when folks dont know what they are doing
I like that all these suggestions just ignore how horrendously bad it typically is to launch a product that would require customers to educate and relearn how they type on a keyboard vs how they currently use a keyboard
Its catering to such an incredibly small niche of people who would be willing to meet those requirements
it's only a few keys that are not even used often. the 0.25 row shift should be pretty manageable to learn.
current split you also have to relearn Backspace binding on right space, because that's the only good use for it (much more used than those keys). Another good use for middle key is have Shift there (also often used) - but this is also relearning etc.
realistically most folks are binding game things to their split space (if they go split space)
eg right space becomes a map pullup key in valorant for example
or a ping command etc
they're not really thinking about typing binds there
that's honestly the big disconnect with a lot of these layout requests people are asking about - the reason wooting is doing their specific split spacebar is likely gaming related for extra game binds more so than some ergonomic typing reason
they wouldn't have to bind anything there, if they used ESDF - then you get just more keys on the left side, and also with mine nicer Ctrl useage and also Alt, etc.
the entire point is they want to bind things there.
it's nice to have another easily pressable key to bind in game things to without changing their normal usage
spacebar should be placed in the middle and just be a solid piece, not split up and also then inhibiting both-thumb space usage.
using ESDF you get like 4 extra keys on the left side, 2 very accessible keys.
convincing a ton of people to change from wasd gaming is never going to happen, especially the ones who have gotten used to using left ctrl with pinky
did you see my layout, you can pretty easily use left Ctrl with pinky, with ESDF
nah that's super awkward for ctrl pinky users
i assume you're not a ctrl pinky presser?
everyone is a ctrl pinky presser what are you talking about
no i meant like wasd ctrl pinky press
because doing it the same way as wasd position while being over esdf is not doable at all
aka the way all the fps players who use ctrl to crouch press it
it is with that layout shown above
no i'm telling you i'm literally trying to position over esdf right now and press where your layout would have ctrl and it hurts
it's super awkward and my curled pinky can't press it
if you're a wasd ctrl presser it's not usable
it's 1u bigger than previous, the shift to esdf is 1u. so it works - when gaming ofc you would move kb 1u more to the left than usual (and also means 1u more mouse space).
i'm literally telling you it doesn't work
do you need a photo
you're wrong lmao
?? my hand is wrong
read the facts again
it's super awkward and you can't push your curled pinky left further to reach it comfortably
who are you trying to fool, read the facts again.
i don't know why you think i'm trying to fool you about a literal physical movement that is photographed above lol
you cannot curl pinky press that key to match because you'd be on the awkward edge of your layout and it's super uncomfortable
yes, for very centered homerow position - from which no one games - it's a bit worse - everyone MOVES their kb to the left when gaming, are you serious.
to the left or rotates it
my keyboard is literally left
i'm not trying to cheat you of anything here. I think you just literally don't press ctrl with curled pinky if you think your layout is comfortable on esdf positioning
you'd have to slightly uncurl pinky to kind of stretch and reach the ctrl press
you're very disingenuous, it's insane, who are you fooling you think? read the facts again - your issue would be literally the same using current Ctrl with WASD.
?? do you think i'm making up this pinky press ctrl thing?
yes, you're lying deliberately, gaslighting etc
whelp i give up. I guess every fps player is lying to you lol
it's very clear now you do not use wasd + curled pinky press that a lot of fps players position in
read the facts again, or learn to read first I guess
you realize pressing it on the edge there is not comfortable at all right?
in the photo i showed my pinky is literally at the edge of where your new ctrl key would be
which is really not comfy
like i'd have to maybe change the spring to be super light to make pressing it like that comfortable
it's insane that you think i'm trying to gaslight you lol
this is how fps players press ctrl and shift, with that curled pinky
hopefully my friends 80HE isnt lost, i think westjet messed up our luggage 😭
read the facts until you understand it
alright whatever i tried to explain, you're in your "everyone who disagrees is lying or using keyboard wrong" thing even with literal video showing the issue
you just showed everyone what kind of bad faith, disingenuous person you are (but most here probably already knew).
???
this entire conversation reads as someone who clearly doesn't press ctrl with curled pinky trying to tell people who do that they should just do it a different way and feel comfortable with it
mods, timeout this disingenuous gaslighter
who are all these people you keep talking to that are supposedly agreeing with you?
tf happened?
You are welcome to share opinions and perspectives. You are NOT welcome to attack community members who are merely engaging in your thought experiment.
i didn't attack, i stated exactly what he did. after telling him the facts many times.
I tried to do what Sno did myself and found it hard to also press ctrls. Even if I try to make sure it's position is the same as using WASD
you have to bully the bullies, that's the only way
This is not a discussion, this is a moderation action being taken in the form of a direct warning. If you cannot abide by it, then further escalatory moderation actions will be taken.
I think 2.25U Control is ridiculous for anyone not using ESDF but I do not understand how a 1u increase in Control width and a 1u offset in hand position results in any uncomfertabilties.
that's not ridiculous, it also helps wasd users to use ctrl more comfortably.
anyway moving on
I think mana argues that in the ESDF position (with a 2.25u wide control), it would be the same as in the WASD position (with a 1.25u control).
it's mostly the very slight different tilt and pinky curl that makes it awkward mostly
basically a lot of us fps gamers have been used to a very specific awkward way to pressing shift and ctrl and changing it even slightly is really uncomfortable
you don't game in homerow centralized position, what are you talking about (and even in homerow, this is not even correct, or has enough weight)
I don't know what to tell you, ask most fps players to do it and they'll tell you it feels uncomfortable and they have to strain a little
I try to understand where you’re coming from but it doesn’t really make sense. Is this caused by the physical location of your board? So if you moved it over to the left, this wouldn’t be the case anymore?
you either move kb to the left, rotate it, or do some combination of both, when you game.
it's cause you press on a different spot so the leverage is different to how you normally press ctrl
you could potentially get used to it over a long period of time, but because you're so trained to press a certain way it's awkward and uncomfy
you have to bend things just slightly different
the big thing is keeping fingers on esdf at same time as you press it makes it feel weird
If that is the case, maybe it’s caused by the position of your hand. You shouldn’t feel a difference between WASD and ESDF.
it's the pressure of the key and pressing it on the right side of a longer key, it feels off and straining basically
i think this is one of those things you probably have to be someone who does it to understand, since to a non curled pinky person they probably see both as equally awkward looking
i think it's weird to argue on someone else's behalf, I just know how I press the keys
I’ll try it in a bit. At least in theory, I have no clue how this would have any effect at all but I haven’t used ESDF in ages. I’m also a curled pinky guy.
goes for all of you and especially mb arguing that one way of using the keyboard is objectively correct based on arbitrary reasoning stemming from nothing but his own experience
I argue the same thing, not objectively correct but more common way to use split spaces. 🥴
like fleimi, I feel any layout that basically relies on forcing someone to change how they want to comfortably use the keyboard is kind of a nonstarter
you can't just say "You're using it wrong, use it my way!" to get people to follow a certain layout
people are going to use it how they want to use it
I agree so much that I’ve argued from the first time seeing the 60HE v2 (split) that it falls directly under that.
ah idk, something to do with westjet labor and stuff its complicated
i get where you're coming from, i think most folks just disagree with your one because they're not ergonomical typers
so for average person they just see "oh wootings split doesn't really change how I position normally and I get 1-2 extra keys on space where I normally don't press"
If the goal was solely gaming, they would’ve went 64%. It seems to me like an oversight that most people that want to use the right space with their right thumb are probably going to miss.
i think 64% is a whole different topic and debate
Saying people will use their left thumb to press the right spacebar is kind of unrealistic and a bad argument imo.
i look at split spacebar keebs on google images and it's a tossup whether it's long-short, short-long, or even-even splits
arguing one is more common than the other is not really true either
i think you're underestimating how many people aren't ergonomical perfect form typers
yeah given you're the only one along with mb that care about this split, doesn't seem very common to me at all
It is very and there are different ways splits work. The split spaces that start with a long 2.75U> space first, don’t offer a third button for your thumb and keep it ergonomic for your right thumb as well.
what is a 64% board
well I just looked at the evidence
short search shows there's no "more common" layout here
it's just whatever each manufacturer decided to make
You don’t understand how split spacebars work, they aren’t all the same and they function different purposes each.
Woot’s split, does not exist.
the main disconnect is aligner believes the right thumb users is more important/bigger than the gamers who aren't and who prefer wootings version for gaming
2.75U - 2.25U - 1.25U exists and is perfectly ergonomic because the right thumb presses the 2.25U spacebar (so this split doesn’t offer a third gaming button).
i personally like the split 60HE v2 the way it is, works super well for how i plan on using it
I don’t believe they’re more important at all. I don’t think everyone that wants to use the right spacebar with their right thumb shouldn’t be considered though. It’s a complete oversight that I strongly believe people will miss.
the wooting split does exist given I see keyboards with that split on google images
one side is going to be slightly awkward regardless of which split version you use
either right thumb users or gamers who like the bigger left side
wooting just picked the one that gamers tend to prefer - that's how I see it
that's how I see it as well
DZ60 perhaps, though that is a board that’d even support mana’s layout.
This isn’t based on anything. The only three gaming boards with split spaces have a 2.25U left space.
your argument is also not based on anything except "i feel this way"
nobody else has come forward with an opinion that it's bad
i think you're getting a bit overly into the "this layout didn't exist before therefore it's not going to be liked or preferred" - which isn't necessarily true
so it's just you until proven otherwise
the non popularity or lack of existence of something doesn't equal proof that it'll be unpopular or not preferred later
My argument is based on ergonomics, on which boards exist and how the human hand works brotherman. 😭
you don't have an argument for ergonomics though
the same argument that says more room for right thumb takes space away from left thumb when gaming
we are just trying to explain that a lot of gamers don't care about 2 handed ergonomics in their gaming keyboard over something that works better for their wasd gaming
therefore it's one pro for and one con against === not an argument towards either side
The argument for ergonomics is perfectly clear. Which is why one exists and not the other.
there's a bit of a logical leap there though
one exists and another doesn't isn't proof
yes it's a gaming keyboard so gaming comfort would be preferable over optimal typing comfort
Wooting didn't invent the split layout and burned 100k on the keycaps molds. This split space design already exists. There are also keycaps that will fit it. Check keychron q10 , q13 and q14
There’s no argument it objectively works better for WASD, the opposite could be said though.
his thing is a whole different thing - he's saying wooting invented the 2.75u left side version
yes there is, more room for thumb to accommodate more natural positions
i mean it just comes down to aligner uses his keyboard more in that ergonomic 2 handed typer position and wants that more popular ergonomic split
that would be fine but he argues so does everyone else, for some reason
yeah that part is where everyone is disagreeing
I haven’t seen anyone that complained about the gaming boards with 2.25U on the left side. I’d argue the 2.75U split forces the middle key further away and thus more difficult to reach comfortably.
but you just said it didn't exist before so how would gamers find and argue for such a niche thing that they barely even know exists before this
Because there are facts behind everything, again:
that's the whole thing - your evidence is that it didn't exist and people didn't talk about it before so it doesn't matter, but that isn't necessarily true
it could easily just be that gamers barely knew it existed and that the crowd that might be interested in trying or using split spacebars before were heavily in the ergonomic crowd
I’m saying, this already niche split fucks over a group of people making it even more niche when this is a split that didn’t exist before (meaning, if this split was popular enough or too many people found the 2.25U split tol uncomfortable, it would exist already).
Ngl, but personally, for gaming, if I go down the split space bar, I honestly don't care which space bar size is on the left. Either is easily reachable
yeah point is nobody else but aligner cares
yeah and no one is saying it doesn't screw you over a bit. Just that there is a crowd of people who it doesn't screw over as well
For that reason, one group should be more considered than the other.
For typing, that's a whole different story
see that's the disconnect right there. Your evidence for one group being more important is sketchy
Not just me, again, everyone that wants to use the right spacebar with their right thumb.
yes you and everyone who wants to use the right spacebar with their right thumb
none of us are debating that for you
Very few here have used split spacebars so that’s expected.
we agree
Good.
we're just saying that we don't agree with your analysis that your group of foks is more important than the gaming group of folks who don't use it that way
You’re saying wooting should fuck those people, the people that want 2.75U are a majority. Right?
not necessarily the majority in the world, but the majority in gaming i'd wager
and yes, that's what we're saying
It’s not the gaming folk, again, three very popular HE gaming boards with 2.25U split already exist and have for quite a while.
have you seen the type of people buying those 3 very popular he gaming boards
it's literally the niche of people that heavily overlap with the ergonomic and mx custom crowd
I’ve seen people like, positive feedback and posts on twitter.
sure, none of us are debating that it's popular with a particular niche
your niche
It’s everyone. I’m saying the 2.75U people are the few, so few in fact that they don’t have a board.
that's the leap that no one here is agreeing with
Both for gaming and for ergonomics.
for the most part split and other layout boards were made for a very specific crowd of people, not really your average gamer, so the existence of those boards isn't proof or non proof in my eyes - it's just companies saying "oh this crowd of folks want this"
something not existing doesn't mean it wouldn't be preferred or liked once it does exist
it just means products were made based on specific target customer demographics previously
Okay, if someone were to take full advantage of their split space board, would they be using the right spacebar with their right thumb or not really.
Just want to see where you’re coming from.
not really. Maybe occasionally while typing but a lot of people aren't ergonomic right thumb users
This I agree with if it didn’t conflict with any ergonomics.
people use their fingers? ive been translating thoughts into text for ages now
Only a few people or many?
Vibe coding via neural link
hell yeah
i should specify i'm talking about the average gamer btw in my reply, not someone who is min/maxing ergonomic typing
i mean isnt a split keyboard heaps better at that already anyway?
yep it is
i think the whole disconnect is aligner is a min/maxing ergonomic typer and to him it's a no brainer that ergonomics should be the major concern
whereas a lot of gamers aren't in that demo and don't care and would probably just pick whatever is comfier while wasd gaming
Catering to the 0.5U increase people while fucking over right space users is making the niche more niche.
that's where we are disagreeing with you
If ergonomics weren’t of concern, just “gaming” they would’ve went with 64%.
we need to drop the 64% thing because that's a whole different debate and topic
stick to one thing at a time
always remember that this is a Variant #2 - there already will be a standard kb for gaming etc. This second variant could be much more wild and unorthodox if Wooting wanted.
If you can fuck over right space users, what’s the issue with right shift users?
that's the opposite of how wooting has operated though. In fact the whole 60he+ was because they wanted to consolidate their pcb wasn't it
again - much more complicated things to talk about re: product development etc than just this one issue so let's not jump topics
there could be Variant #2 with just 1 sku (ansiso, non-flex), but different keycaps, good marketing etc.
It points to what they didn’t consider. I think the same happened with the split.
Your suggestion to appease everyone is to take a business risk and make it twice as risky? Wat
it would just be a cool product, and unique, I just bet many would like it because of that.
i think it's really stretching now to try find equivalent arguments across very complicated things and there's no point debating that topic
you're introducing a million other factors that would go into a different keyboard when trying to equal out those 2 decisions
There’s no argument 2.75U is objectively better than 2.25U for gaming, as I said, the opposite could be argued. So how they got to 2.75U to begin with is the question.
Just one. ;)
yeah but none of us are arguing that topic with you
we agree, some people would prefer 2.25u (such as yourself and other right space users), just that wooting chose the 2.75u gaming crowd as their priority and we're okay with that
Very few would prefer 2.75U, (such as yourself). 2.25U has been around in the gaming space for over a year and has been very well received. There’s no need to change that by fucking over a group of people.
yeah see that's the difference. I'm not trying to decide for your crowd of people how big they are or how important their crwod is
you’re seriously arguing that a split that doesn’t exist, a split that isn’t requested commonly or at all even, is more popular than something that already exists and is already well received.
no i'm saying it can be preferred, not that it's more popular as of this moment
very different things
the existence of a thing or it being popular does not equal something else not able to become preferred
therefore woot should cater to the few by fucking over the many?
again - you have not proved that this crowd is 'the few'
that's what you keep jumping over
that’s if you only consider people that use solely left shift to begin with though.
no the thing is aligner - Spacebar is like most commonly and naturally used by left thumb - and it makes just sense to have this be bigger and more accessible than the other right space and having Backspace on it. for me it's still really not enough incentive to get it.
but it's true that 2.25 left would be better for gaming (wasd). many people I guess have not that big hands, teenagers, women etc (not moving the wrist while reaching middle key) (maybe still fine idk).
if people want to use it for typing and want to take advantage of it, they can’t with the 60HE v2 (split).
The right side hasn't changed at all. The left side was enlarged at the expense of the center key. So I don't understand where you're coming from at all
i don't want to alarm you but oner just smite stole the dragon soul in the t1 vs dnf game 2 to keep t1 in the game. Okay continue discussion now
Right thumb spacebar user here, didn't know that was uncommon.
Seems like the opinions are a bit split on this
That’s because you don’t understand what the size changes entail. The spacebar isn’t centered to begin with so the thing that matters for typing, is overhang rather than width.
Also a bit bummed that my thumb will land pretty much right between center and right space with this layout
it's for sure more uncommon and also like you can press it while having right hand on mouse.
While typing not gaming
FWIW I've been using the 60HE v2 split for typing and had no issues using my left and right thumb for typing 
You’ll adjust really fast ~ Calder
i mean - it really depends on how he presses right space too
if he presses on the right side of the key more then it changes nothing for him, just depends on his typing style
Right, the natural position of your thumb is directly below your index finger!
yep, look we've kind of gone full circle now. The bottom line is aligner believes wootings version didn't exist before and that is proof it will not be preferred or popular, that's about it i think?
Don't get me wrong I'm gonna buy it, cannonkeys cxa sets come with domed space bars in those 3 sizes so if worst comes to worst I'll just set em all up as spacebar in a typing profile or disable one that causes double presses but I can see an argument for a more ergonomic setup.
wait in bigger news t1 just won the dragon fight after dnf got the hextech soul and t1 might just have gone 2-0 to potentially take 2nd seed if they beat hle next week
it's not that hard to start using left thumb for space across kbs (but most even use both thumbs, so transition won't be that big).
The split is unergonomic, fucks over right space users and didn’t exist before. On the other hand 2.25U has been used and well received for HE gaming keyboards for over a year. That’s my point worded properly.
yep so basically you don't believe that it could be preferred or popular whereas some of us disagree with you on that point
doesnt that also means any size except non split is unergonomic for right or left thumb users if they have longer thumbs? so concluding from that its best to just never split the spacebar
I do believe it could be preferred by people, I don’t believe that niche is worth fucking over people that I know for a fact exist many of.
It didn't fuck over me 🤷
Well I mean clearly Wooting didn't invent it
Omg it already exists so it must be good

i mean it's basically what fleimi said. You think the way you use the keyboard is more important than the other group
whereas bunch of us don't think that's true
That’s a board I haven’t seen before, do you know the name of it?
KBD75v2
I don’t think the way I use my keyboard is more important. I see all the people using one of three very popular split space gaming keyboards and having no problem with the split whatsoever.
By kbdfans
What's most important is that we can all agree that ANSI > ISO
a lot of neat things that people like now wouldn't exist if you make products only based on what catored to previous niches
I saw Wasabi using our split space v2 having no issue at all
Oh people are looking for arguments here lol
If he was a right space user, what would his opinion be?
ISO gang rise up
7u best
keep current layout - but at least include some special keycap for current Backspace (because right space will become new Backspace for most, then having this wrong legend on current Backspace is not great).
(well I don't really overall endorse this layout, and probably won't get it, but at least good keycap support would make it more attractive)
I guess I'm not a real right space user 
You are but you aren’t many.
i actually do press space on right side sometimes too when i type, but usually more on the right side so the split wouldn't bother me
you arent many either now are you
It’s not really an argument of 2.25U on the right being unergonomic I think.
I’m not arguing what I prefer man.
isnt that... even worse since youre arguing for the many then?
but you arent the many?
I’m arguing what exists and what is ergonomic.
Precisely, I think the many should be considered rather than the few.
👀
yeh, gamers that want to primarily use their left thumb
so by your own argument then: you arent the many nor are we
The many are the people that use 2.25U on the left side. The few are the people that use 2.75U on the left side.
we keep jumping over the entire point that something not existing isn't proof that it won't be popular after it exists
it exists tho? didnt someone just send images of the same split existing already?
Do you go on mouse discords and complain when a left hand model is released? Complain that the clothes in the big and tall shop don't fit you? Everything isn't made for everyone, nor should it be, spend your energy finding what works for you and not complaining about what doesnt
yeah he says it's too niche and not popular though so doesn't really count
I’m not arguing with that.
Technically, you can also use 2.25 on the left 
but your entire point hinges on that fact - you said 'the few' over and over and over again with regards to gamers who might prefer wootings split
you kind of need to prove that it's true
The only people the 80HE fucked over were right control users.. 😭
OK, after some thoght while shaving :d here are my thoughts on the whole drama:
1 - yes, it is a fact that (generaly, for split space bar) the right one is the 2.75 one, to account for the extra lateral movement the right hand needs to perform to reach the additional staggered keys to the right of the keyboard
my stance on it is - most use left thumb or at least both thumbs for space - so for them the transition will be easy.
- and those that don't use left thumb - it's also pretty easy for most of them to learn to use the superior left thumb (and also rebind your other potential kbs for this - it's just the best way - you just learned to use it the 'wrong' way before).
so your right thhumber will flex more on the 60HE v2
a lot of troubles just comes from people not learning the best way to use kbs really - and they should for sure try to learn the right way, and it's not even that hard.
It doesn’t. Woot doesn’t not know how well 2.75U will do, nor does anyone. What we do know is how well 2.25U does and the reason why 2.25U is common whereas 2.75U is not.
but my question is: isn't the swith location centered on both sides? This way, users could chose which side to put the 2,25 and 2,75 space key caps
That is the whole reasoning.
😭
No
Well it is centered

yeah but what we're all saying is there's a whole group of people who would potentially be happier and maybe even bigger in number than the existing crowd of split users who prefer your layout
But the other keys will force the 2.75/2.25
why not make both space switches central to their relative position then?
just because a specific demographic of split users such as yourself exist doesn't mean wooting should or needs to specifically cator to that niche over the other niche
but you're arguing for them to do so
They are, but the other 1.25u keys will collide into them
So essentially gambling while fucking over a group of people making the split more niche in hopes it’ll be liked better?
The whole split spacebar venture is a gamble, yes.
but if you are designing a split space for split space users....
sure if you want to call it gambling
I'll explore it :)
yeah but they're not is the entire thing
It was very pleasant to use; and I didn’t expect myself to like it
A double gamble.
do you regularly use split space bar keyboards?
i have owned 4 yes
None that are 2.75U fyi.
i didn't like them though because they didn't quite fit my usage that well
and the 60HE v2 split will ?
yep
ok
Wooting hall effect spacebar foot peddle will solve everything
The 12 people who already use split keyboards who are also into enthusiast gaming keyboard are going to be very upset
also if anything I like how you can just get extra shift keys
yeah that's what I'm not getting. it's not like the split spacebar gamer he enthusiast crowd is some giant niche
By buying a separate keycap set.. 💀
the split space bar has its merits. but for typing, not for gaming
They’re great for both. 🥰
my problem is not even this split, it's just overall like "not gambling hard enough" - but you know like making it more 'feature-rich' - so then these many gambles become not really gambles, if also marketed good.
how is wootility going to sort both 'space bar presses' SOCD? thats cheating
yeah exactly. The entire aligner vs rest argument here is that we're saying wooting made a version for gaming specifically and he thinks they should have made the current existing popular version instead
although 'popular' is a very vague word there because split spacebar, gaming, he crowd isn't exactly the largest niche of people like hopper pointed out
it owuld be great of someone from wooting can shed some light why they decided as is
popular as in 100% of the gaming HE boards.
marketing is also a justifiable answer tbh
They will.
have to keep in mind the heavily into custom keyboard crowd were predicting wootings doom with the 80he layout too
@floral sequoia
Probably.
I'm still waiting for a southpaw 100%
take my money!!!!
If we're going to do something new and it must be a gamble regardless, then we're not going to waste our time on what the established convention is. We're well aware that most companies just follow the crowd. Instead, we'll make what we think is the best.
I’m predicting Wooting’s doom now? 😭
Don't tell jakubix
nah i'm talking about other folks in the HE x custom community specifically
some of them predicted 80he would flop just due to layout
but was there a particular reason for left to be 2.75? I can even understand that as branding. and that s fine if were honest
that specific demographic that is also upset over not offering tsangan right now
so you know its a wooting keyb. is the left is bigger than the right space bar 😄
Then, at least 60k people are owning and using it. Maybe even 100k. Also top used gaming keyboard.
just like the take control strip 😄
i think the funniest was one of them predicted the 80he would be wootings first instock keyboard because no one would buy after batch 1 sold
it's in stock, though not sure how much.
the world is in crisis finantially and the americans are hostage of tariffs, so I believe there will be stock for some time
i think it got to instock after what, batch 3 or something like that? but for like 3 days or something iirc lol
It’s specifically for the people that tilt their board around 25° or so, any more and the split would be unusable and any less and 2.25U would be fine/preferable (what many use already).
Yes, except ANSI modules and iso zinc
If they didn’t change the arrow keys that would’ve happened. 👽
I have made an intersting question regarding the double space bar: how is wootility handling space bar presses? SOCD ?
that cant be the default behavior for sure
nothing would change there though
NULL conflict resolution?
the extra keys would either be space still or bound to different inputs that aren't space
Why would anyone use SOCD on spacebar, we know the right spacebar wasn’t meant to be used often anyway.
because usually a keyboard doesn't have 2 keys bound to the same keycode
like for example i'd just end up binding f8 or a random key i don't use to one of the splits and then in game binding f8 to whatever I want
I thought the many were right spacebar users?
they you defeat the true purpose of a split space bar 😄
you know rhythm gamer exist, and I for one appreciate the extra spacebar.
i think that's the big disconnect with the ergo crowd vs wootings split
the whole point is extra game buttons
hmmm....
Gaming and ergo.*
I saw so much potential ...
it's not an ergonomic thing for wooting. It's a "oh I play WoW and i get 2 extra keys now to bind for my thumb"
Challenging the industry right spacebar users
Honestly let's just get rid of the stabilizers and throw 5 1.25u mod keys down there, typing be damned.
or "i play valorant and now I have an easier map button" etc etc
Real.
That would be an argument if people didn’t already use and like 2.25U boards for gaming including the middle button (for the HM66).
we get it aligner. You think the right space bar is the demo they should cator to and the other demo is few
those are the facts that exist currently, another fact being that one fucks over a group of people as I said before.
the thing is: if you remap one of the space bars for gaming, you will get a tiny space bar for 'regular' use ... are you comfortable with that trade off ?
Which you agree with.
yep - that's the whole point of wootings version
it doesn't interfere with a lot of gamers regular use
Are people who buy hm66 buying Wootings
Most press their space on the left and right side, not dead center so it doesn’t really matter.
WoW thats a big nono
Just stating what exists and what has been well received.
don't even know what that is
It doesn't fuck anyone over because it's not their only offering, if they didn't offer a full size space layout option and this was all they are selling then maybe you'd have an argument, but nobody is being forced into using the split layout, if you don't like it don't get it.
[binging] 😄
Actually, does the 2.75u on left spacebar badly received at all?
Tbh everyone I've seen post a HM66 has it without the split space spacebar
On actual use, not like '2.25' should be on that. Kind of use.
It fucks over everyone that’d wanna use the right spacebar comfortably. So sure you can say just don’t buy it, but I think there will be a few that buy it without knowing the ergonomics of it.
I don't like the HM66 split space bar either [just binged the product]
That is also a hypothetical, I’ll say that.
it should be noted that aligner just happens to be in that 'everyone' crowd
Since everything is hypothetical, why don't just let wooting do the risk and see if the spacebar will be appreciated/hated.
Split space is niche, never once argued that it isn’t. Many people do like it though, if you search HM66 on twitter or Rakka60.
so wooting should not try out a new variation that may be preferred by some because of users within a niche of a niche?
Right but you're also arguing it's a bunch of people getting fucked over
Because those are the facts.
if you are designing a keyboard for a niche market, you should appease the niche users, no?
Alright this kid is just baiting at this point
2.25U on the right side is (imo unarguably) unergonomic for the people that’s want to use it.
yeah but wooting aren't designing it for that niche but rather for the other niche which is why he's arguing
ok, then its a pass for me
I mean I found it quite ok, and that’s coming from a right spacebar - non split user
To the many within that niche.
And I imagine there will be quite a bit of people like me
Who are not already in the split spacebar space
thumb sprain is a thing ....
i do think it's a bit funny that the evidence for why wooting shouldn't try out this new variation is because of gamer who buy and use he keyboard with a split option, who also are in the niche of using the split option, who are also in the niche of wooting buyers, who are also in the niche of preferring the ergonomics vs gaming wasd option
it's like a niche within a niche within a niche within niche
For left users it’s fine, though as I haven’t seen anyone complain about the 2.25U left spacebar, I think it doesn’t really matter. With 2.25U the middle button would be slightly closer and easier to reach.
and that's apparently the customer base we should be worried about wooting satisfying
Sorry i meant right
Due to the language I type in
Again, not gaming vs ergonomics, both. ;)
at some point your split of the pie graph is so small that it's a bit weird to be using that as evidence
if if simply swapping both space bars would please both, I don't see why not honestly
"Perhaps to those uninitiated, my words may sound rather far-fetched" - ahh niche.
If you were to use your left thumb, 2.25U would be perfect.
True, but I don’t think right 2.25 is necessarily taking anything away from me
it doesn't - he's saying it does but it doesn't
it's literally aligner arguing on behalf of everyone impacted by it
while everyone else is saying it's fine
The argument goes back like this the whole time. If you were sno, it would take away from you.
IMHO, thats the only deal breaker for me, and I use ergo keybs as well
It does, it’s a better balance as I said before.
cant wait for q4 and see what everybody else is thinking about it on actual use.
the right space bar being 2,25 is a deal breaker for me , because of possible thumb sprain when typing
Fucking over the 2.75U people.
Yep, me too!
you know what's the funniest part though
but hten again, I have about 12 60Hes , dunno when I need to restock 😄
oh yeah, you can just still buy the 6.25u 60hev2
the whole evidence behind aligners statement is that boards exist and it's more safe and popular to do it his way. Once wooting releases theirs, it would be more popular than the current split he options and therefore by his evidence it's now the correct one to copy
so once wooting release their 60he v2 they are correct
it's more bought and used so therefore it's the right layout now
That’s just in bad faith man. You know my argument well enough by now, cmon.
😃👍
yeah i do, but that's the fallacy of the logic behind your argument
Shin Megami Tensei Chaos route be like, "We're stronger, which means we're right."
i know why you're arguing for it (because you think it's better) but none of the evidence about popularity matches up to back it
We’re right, thus we’re stronger.
[quick plug] I just want a southpaw 100% 😄 😛
